Wedding Host/DJ

This guy is absolutely brilliant!!! Where do we even begin?!

From the moment we met Simon at a wedding fayre we instantly knew he was the guy for us! We needed him to be part of our day. Bubbly, funny and so personable. The best decision we made was booking him!

Simon kept in contact with us via What’sApp and was there for us throughout our planning, helping guide us and give advice but also listen to our ideas to create the perfect day.

Looking back now I couldn’t imagine the day without him! Not only did his big personality help put all our guests at ease throughout the day but his energy was infectious. Simon ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the day from start to finish. He made sure that everything was perfect behind the scenes and nothing was ever too much trouble. He was an unbelievable host. All our guests have commented how awesome he was!

In the evening Simon was our DJ and boy did he deliver! I don’t think I’ve danced so much in my life. He kept the dance floor lively with some absolute bangers. With his expertise he was able to read the room and catered for all ages.

We highly recommend Simon if you want a mega wedding!!! Thank you for being a part of our day and making it so special.

Love Mr & Mrs Brown

Look no further

From start to finish, Simon was excellent. He got what we wanted, talked it through with us over several zoom calls and come the day, nothing went wrong. He was the exact amount of force we needed, getting everyone where they needed to be, and guiding us through every stage. He was excellent with the vendors and the day couldn't have gone smoother. Music was on point in the evening and guests kept saying what a nice man he was. 10/10 all round.

Best wedding dj ever

We couldn’t recommend Simon highly enough - the dance floor at our wedding was PACKED from start to finish.  The best wedding DJ we have ever witnessed & we have been to A LOT of weddings!!!

Simon was great from the get go, creating a WhatsApp group to answer any questions we had and arranging a call to discuss our music tastes and preferences for the day. Simon was brilliant as our master of ceremonies, getting all the guests hyped up to party!!! The atmosphere was epic!  

In the evening the dance floor was literally packed the whole night, thanks to the energy Simon brought.  

We can’t thank you enough Simon!

The best dj!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Simon for our wedding! From the very first conversation, he made everything feel so easy and personal. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and built a playlist that suited all ages, keeping the dance floor packed all night. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy up was incredible!

Not being local to the area, I initially thought finding the right DJ would be a challenge, but as soon as I saw how many weddings he had done at Hidden River, I knew he was the perfect choice. His experience with the venue was clear—everything was seamless, from setup to sound quality, and he made sure the night flowed perfectly.

If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to bring the party to life, make it fun and personal, and ensure your guests have an unforgettable time, I can’t recommend Simon enough! Thank you for making our wedding so special 🙌🏻

An extension of the wonderful Hidden River team 🤍

We booked Simon (Windermere package) for our December 2024 wedding at Hidden River Barn and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Simon is attentive and a true professional, he bends over backwards to make sure that his clients have everything that they need in the run up to the wedding, even when faced with the most obscure questions! On the day, Simon calmed our nerves and looked out for us, making sure that the day was everything we dreamed of as well as being the most engaging host for our guests. His ability to read the room is second to none - our guests were up dancing all night long (even earlier than planned thanks entirely to Simon) and we had so many compliments on the music. Even 3.5 months after the wedding, our guests still say how amazing Simon was. We had the best day/night and can’t thank Simon enough for being an extension of the wonderful Hidden River team, for being the best host and for making our wedding so special!
